Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has described Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams as the father of many who has impacted lives globally.
According to Dr Bawumia, it is, therefore, not surprising that Archbishop Duncan-Williams is referred to as ‘Papa’ by many.
Dr Bawumia sang the praises of the Archbishop when he, together with some lawmakers, joined the leader and founder of the Action Chapel International for their Special Tribute Service at the Prayer Cathedral, Spintex, Accra, on Sunday, 15 May 2022 to mark his 65th birthday, which also coincided with his 45th-anniversary in ministry.
In a short message, Dr Bawumia told the Archbishop: “You’ve been a father to many and it is no surprise, therefore, that everybody calls him papa.”
“He has impacted many lives and every sector of this country, he has impacted many lives abroad and he has impacted the world over and we are very grateful to God for his life,” he added.
Dr Bawumia noted that Archbishop Duncan-Williams is the father of the charismatic movement in Ghana and has been “phenomenal”.
“We know to achieve the extent of success that he has achieved in the last 45 years, he has fought many battles but by the grace of God there is a hand behind his hand so he has won many of those battles and I’m sure he is always strengthened by Psalm 23: ‘Though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death I’ll fear no evil for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff comfort me.’ That is the hand behind him, he fears no evil and he enters into these battles and he is winning these battles for humanity. So, I’m here to say congratulations,” the vice-president stated.
